Collaboration between Corvus Le Goth and Bricky Brick

Travel to a land of adventure filled with castles, forests, and mysterious ruins that hide secrets.

This moving adventure recreates a complex ambush by the Serpent faction against a prison convoy belonging to the Griffin faction. Full of traps, hiding places, and a thousand ways to tell an epic story.

Setting and context

The model is set sometime in the Middle Ages, when traveling on little-used roads was always a guarantee of trouble and things like order, law, and justice were not appreciated by everyone. It includes a large wooded area where the ruins of a once-grand complex that suffered a tragedy now serve as a temporary camp for a group of thugs.

Accessibility and playability

The design has been conceived as a mega trap in itself, with three mini islands that can be configured in various ways, each with a gear-driven mechanism that deploys a hidden minifigure ready to attack. The main site consists of a living area and a complex mechanism that lowers part of the wall and deploys a heavy ballista. It also incorporates a statue that has seen better days and only needs a little Archimedes force to fall and block the way.

Finally, there is the convoy, which consists of a prison carriage with a roof that can be easily removed and a defensive trailer with a pair of crossbows. The sheriff can go on foot or on horseback.

Minifigures

● Griffin faction:

- Driver: At the reins of the convoy, he is the most veteran soldier.

- Sheriff: Leading the caravan, he is responsible for ensuring that the prisoner reaches his destination without incident.

- Prisoner Guardian: Armed with a spear, he makes sure the cell remains locked.

- Rear Guard: In charge of the crossbows, he defends the wagon by firing a hail of bolts.

● Serpent faction:

- Prisoner: A commander who is very valuable to his faction and must be rescued at all costs.

- Peasant warrior: Armed with his pitchfork, he will not hesitate to jump from his pumpkin field towards the enemy.

- Two-handed warrior: A master of the art of fencing, he likes to cook fish on one of his swords.

- Squad leader: Equipped with full armor, she harshly commands her subordinates to ensure the ambush is successful.

Conclusion

With this project, we wanted to do something different from the typical castle or civil building of the Middle Ages. It has also been a kind of experiment to use gears in different situations and offer a very dynamic and varied design. Not to mention the beautiful symbolism of the passage of time and nature over the work of man.
